🧵 (1/2) Recently, @fji-law.bsky.social board member, Tiffani Lee, hosted an intimate gathering to raise funds for FJI's work. I delivered remarks about FJI's historical impact and how community support enabled FJI to pursue systemic change in #Florida.

🧵 (1/2) #WBW: Last week, I connected with philanthropic stakeholders during the 3rd anniversary celebration of the Broward Center for Nonprofit Excellence. In 10 days, we will recognize #NationalPhilanthropyDay.

November marks #NationalHomelessnessAwarenessMonth. In #Miami, Alvah Chapman took seriously his role in reducing chronic homelessness in the community.

Glad that @fji-law.bsky.social gets to work alongside 2 previous winners to change the landscape of unsheltered homelessness in our neighborhoods.

🧵 (1/2) #MLM: I've worked on sentence reduction, reentry issues, and as a funder across the advocacy spectrum, but true #CJReform incorporates all those solutions and much more.

Although @fji-law.bsky.social focuses on serving those without means and those struggling with mental or physical disabilities, all disenfranchised populations matter.

We lost an hour today but we should never lose our humanity. Love your neighbor. No exceptions. (2/2)

🧵 (1/2) Yesterday, I did something I don't often get to do: Take a walk. While I explored, I encountered this sign in front of a local house of worship.

As someone who grew up in the church, I found it especially poignant for the current environment. A powerful reminder for this very moment.

As the government shutdown looms, it's up to the community to deliver for those who need it most.

And, when we come together, positive change happens. Thank you to my counterpart at Miami Homes for All, Annie Lord, and her team for reminding everyone that it's up to us to create #TheFutureWeBuild.

For 3 years, the Broward Center for Excellence provided support to develop more impactful NPOs. Yesterday, I attended their anniversary celebration.

@fji-law.bsky.social is grateful to its #BrowardCounty stakeholders to help serve vulnerable Floridians. Thanks to Christine Perez for inviting me!

🧵 (1/3) Elections have consequences. #ElectionDay is a week away and voters have an opportunity to make their voices heard.

In #Miami, voters will choose a new mayor and determine potential amendments to the City Charter to establish fairer representation across the city.

#TBT: In 2022, I marched with @officialmlk3.bsky.social and his family in defense of voting/civil rights. Proud to witness him uphold the #MLK legacy over the years. Happy birthday! (h/t @legaldefensefund.bsky.social)

@fji-law.bsky.social stands for human rights. Especially those disenfranchised residents and underinvested communities in #Florida. Thanks to my colleagues at @aijustice.bsky.social for inviting me to join their powerful convening.

Access to justice matters during #ProBonoWeek and beyond.

Last week, I attended @miamilawschool.bsky.social's Hoeveler Ethics & Public Service Award Ceremony with my @aclufl.bsky.social + @legalservices.bsky.social colleagues.

@fji-law.bsky.social reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the most vulnerable residents among us in the public interest.
October 20, 2025 at 2:05 PM
As an employer of a majority-women organization, it's important to support women in the legal industry. Last week, A.J., Bethell, and I represented @fji-law.bsky.social during The Women's Fund Miami-Dade's #RaiseTheBar event at @historymiami.bsky.social. Proud to be an ally to women in our sector.

The FBI must return to adhering to its stated mission: "To Protect the American People and uphold the Constitution of the United States," instead of ideology driving decisions. (3/3)
October 10, 2025 at 9:15 PM
🧵 (1/3) When I enlisted in FBI Phoenix's Citizens Academy, I learned about the FBI's mission and priorities. Among the Bureau's core values are "respect for the dignity of all those [they] protect" and "uncompromising personal integrity and institutional integrity".

🧵 (1/2) To solve complex problems, it takes a quad sector approach: Governments enabling smarter policies, businesses investing human/financial capital in advancement, social enterprises leveraging their expertise, and faith communities changing hearts + minds.

#Canes learn to serve their community. Ran into fellow former @univmiami.bsky.social athlete, Brandon Okpalobi, during today's #JuniorLeagueMiami Community Breakfast.

Proud to share @fji-law.bsky.social's story with other leaders and changemakers in #Miami. #UAlreadyKnow #ItsAllAboutTheU

25 years ago, I experienced my 1st matchup against Florida State with @canesfootball.bsky.social. We prevailed in what became known as #WideRightIII.

2 years later, we knocked off FSU in #WideLeftI.

Start fast. Play smart and physical. Finish strong.

We're gonna do 3 things... #HSBDTS #BeatFSU

🧵 (1/2) #TBT: 2 weeks ago, I attended the #SFPoC 10th Anniversary Reception. Senator @shevrinjones.bsky.social received SFPoC's Political Leadership Award for 2025.
October 2, 2025 at 3:06 PM
This afternoon, members of @fji-law.bsky.social's staff attended @acslaw.bsky.social South Florida Chapter's Welcome to the Judiciary Luncheon.

As a public interest nonprofit, FJI is diligent about educating the community by meeting them where they are. Access to justice requires it.

🧵 (1/2) As @fji-law.bsky.social's fiscal year winds down. I spent last week sharing our story and challenges among the current environment with colleagues from #AFPMiami and the #NonprofitExecutiveAlliance, as well as future constituents.
September 29, 2025 at 5:05 PM
#FBF: 25 seasons ago, I experienced my first matchup against the Gators with @canesfootball.bsky.social. While I'm grateful for the memories, I'm glad social media didn't exist due to the events surrounding the rivalry.

Forget records. Focus. Take care of business. #BeatUF
September 19, 2025 at 10:44 PM
🧵 (1/2) Before coming aboard at @fji-law.bsky.social, I swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution on multiple occasions in multiple capacities. Although FJI staff primarily focuses on the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 13th Amendments, all 27 matter.

My heart is indeed very heavy today learning the news of yet another classmate/teammate passing earlier this week, Milton "Moosie" Custis.

Moosie was a larger than life figure for those that knew him and I cannot believe he's gone from this earth.

Our days are precious. Cherish them. (2/2)
